Ingredients needed

- One large, ripe tomato
- One black olive, for decoration
- 50g Delaco cream cheese (or any other favorite cream cheese)

Before you start

Make sure you have all the ingredients on hand and that the tomato is fresh and firm. A ripe tomato will bring a sweet and aromatic taste, essential for our recipe. You can use any type of bread, but whole grain bread adds a healthful note and texture.

Step by step: Making the Sandwich

1. Preparing the bread
Start by taking the slice of bread and lightly toasting it if you prefer a crunchy texture. Toasting will enhance the flavor of the bread and provide a pleasant contrast with the cream cheese. If you prefer soft bread, you can skip this step.

2. Spreading the cream cheese
In a bowl, place the Delaco cream cheese and mix well until it becomes creamy and easy to spread. Use a knife or spatula to spread a generous layer of cream cheese on the slice of bread. Ensure it is evenly distributed.

3. Preparing the tomato
Take the tomato and cut it in a zig-zag pattern halfway through, creating flower petals. Be careful not to cut all the way through to keep the tomato intact. This technique not only makes the tomato look more attractive but also helps release the natural juice.

4. Adding the olive
Once you have created the flower from the tomato, take a black olive and place it in the center of the tomato, acting as the "stigma" of the flower. The olives add a salty and intense flavor that will combine wonderfully with the sweetness of the tomato and the creaminess of the cheese.

5. Final assembly
Carefully place the decorated tomato on the slice of bread with cream cheese. You can add a few fresh basil leaves on top for an extra burst of flavor and a more appealing visual.
